    Are we under dispensation

    It is the Bible that seems to break it down that way "first the Jew, and then the Greek." However, the term "dispensation" assumes that "times"-- the times of men and this world, are the rule. But they are not. That rule is rather one used in story telling, revealing first things first...

    The Crucified Flesh

    I liked your other comment, but the issue of "fire" needs clarification. All fire is not a reference to damnation, for there is also "holy fire", and it is even written that "God is a consuming fire." Thus, water baptism is a reference to being "born of water", meaning born of flesh; while...

    How to respond to 13-year-old daughter who declares being gay

    You misunderstand. What are the numbers/percentages? --Were there not 12 apostles (spiritually representing 12 tribes and all people), one of which was a devil? Good--then you should understand why I have spoken rather than staying silent, as you should have done. Do you not know that this is...

    How to respond to 13-year-old daughter who declares being gay

    All of that would only be true if you wanted to act against God who created mankind male and female, first separating them, that they should again become one -- not two men, not two women, but one man and one women, as a model and practice that points to the marriage between Christ and the...

    When will Jesus Return?

    Even every "moment" has an end...and the point is, Heaven does not have an end. So, I know it is natural to reason it as you have, but it doesn't actually work that way. I submit that the "silence in heaven for half an hour" was not a reference to time in heaven, but simply a convenient way of...

    Do you trust the discernment of angry people here on this forum?

    Yes, I suppose we are all capable of lashing out--but it is not good, for sure. Of course that is not to be confused with righteous anger. But you can tell when someone is or is not Christ-like. Chances are that axe they have to grind is personal having nothing to do with who they/we are lashing...

    How to respond to 13-year-old daughter who declares being gay

    It would appear you have missed the point of the thread...or just enjoy being argumentative. A "13 year old daughter who declares being gay" is evidence of being in "a destructive environment." She's under attack by evil, unnatural, and unbiblical forces.

    Was Peter the first Pope?

    Perhaps not...but he was of the namesake of Christ, came forth of Saint Mary (Santa Maria) unto the new world, One of three. ;)

    How to respond to 13-year-old daughter who declares being gay

    Indeed, it all depends on just how advance the idea is. Good point! As for moving...I already explained the importance, as, "getting a person out of a destructive environment."

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Indeed, everything is done according to the will of God. But it is not necessarily best describe and Gods "intentions." But perhaps, as giving Satan enough room to hang himself, or luring him into the light that darkness would abate.

    How to respond to 13-year-old daughter who declares being gay

    Society is now trying to "sell" that idea to kids. Thus, you do not want to try to "sell" your daughter on anything and approach the issue on their same level. Love her...she needs to know you love her, which is way more powerful than society (even with adolescent rebellion). God is love...

    When will Jesus Return?

    Jesus first gave the "there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" warning to that "evil generation." But because you do not believe He actually meant that "this" generation was that generation to who He gave the warning, it is therefore repeated to you also of "this" generation, for the times...

    When will Jesus Return?

    That's not what I said or meant. What I said and meant is the things of times are of this world, and God is not. Do you understand this? Do you understand what that means to what is written-- that "rightly divided" none of the events of time are [actually] heavenly events, but are only revealed...

    When will Jesus Return?

    You have believed a lie--the teachings of men. It is written "The kingdom of God does not come with observation." What you are referring to occurs rather "in the clouds of heaven." (You don't even see and understand what you have quoted).

    When will Jesus Return?

    You just called "God" in my statement: "Metaphysical Mystical Gobbly Goop." There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    Was Peter the first Pope?

    In Mat 16:15-19 Jesus actually gave two would-be options of what He would build upon -- literally, like Moses, He set before them "life and death." The first option was "flesh and blood" which He clearly stated was "not" the one to build upon. The second option was "my Father in heaven" and the...

    When will Jesus Return?

    That is a good and perhaps popular observation. However, what is missing in most people's perspective (or conversely added) is that it is from the perspective of times, while what is of God actually is not. So yes there is an overlap, yes they are simultaneous -- but that is just the tip of the...

    Sources say Trump could be arrested as early as next week

    There are two factions at work (not just one USA or one China). This is the finale of light vs. darkness. There will be a small enactment of what both believe, of that which is ultimately occurring in heavenly places. This is the second "peace" of "peace, peace" which brings about the end of...

    The Jewish people had it wrong does most of the church today too?

    Certainly the anti-Christ crucifixion of Christ headed up by the Priests and Pharisees and cheered on by the masses, is no less or more anti-Christ than great apostacy and doctrines of demons within the church foretold of our times, which began 2,000 years ago.

    Our Spiritual Bodies

    What most loose sight of and do not fully acknowledge...is "God is spirit", "is perfect" as is, and the last Adam is "a life-giving spirit." And it is only the sinful nature of the flesh--that man of sin--that looks to glorify the flesh.
